Iran bans newspaper over article on Charlie Hebdo
2015-01-18
[DAWN] Iran's judicial authorities have banned a newspaper for publishing a front-page headline allegedly indicating support for French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...

Mohammad Ghoochani, chief editor of the daily Mardom-e-Emrooz, or Today's People, is quoted by the semi-official Tasnim news agency as saying his paper has been ordered closed for publishing a front-page story on the French magazine controversy.

The article's headline on Tuesday quoted filmmaker and activist George Clooney as saying I am Charlie Hebdo.

Iran has condemned both the magazine's publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and the deadly assault on the magazine's Gay Paree office by forces of Evil who killed 12 people.
